2012 Maison L'Oree Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles VignesPinot Noir more |
5/13/2017 - bpj87 wrote: NRWhile this did have some pretty Chambolle character, it was markedly clipped and missing the lithe elegance one looks for in this village. This was discounted 50% from $60. It was decent for $30, but no bargain. |

2010 Alain Hudelot-Noëllat BourgognePinot Noir more |
3/11/2017 - bpj87 wrote: 91 pointsRed fruits floating over a fine acidic backbone. Really great for a Bourgogne and should age nicely in the short to medium term. |

2010 Jean Foillard Morgon Côte du PyGamay more |
10/18/2016 - bpj87 wrote: 91 pointsPure cherry fruit and stony minerality atop a lithe, creamy mouthfeel. Pretty floral aromatics. In a really nice place right now – the edges of youth have rounded, but there are still tons of vibrant primary fruit on display. |

2002 Chartogne-Taillet Champagne FiacreChampagne Blend more |
10/12/2016 - bpj87 wrote: 93 pointsSuper expressive nose: florals, red fruits, and yeastiness. Vibrant, seriously chalky, red fruited palate. Seems to have the depth and balance to age a good bit further, and I'm interested to experience this fully mature. I'll give my last bottle maybe 7-10 more years. |

1986 Diamond Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock TerraceDiamond Mountain more |

2001 Château SuduirautSauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
10/2/2016 - bpj87 Likes this wine: 100 pointsFrom a half bottle. Best after two days in the fridge, and started to appreciably decline a few days later when only a quarter of the bottle remained. |

2013 Yvon Métras BeaujolaisGamay more |
10/2/2016 - bpj87 Likes this wine: NRSimilarly to my past two bottles, this displayed a great deal of funky, herbal, and mineral notes. The nose is explosive and the palate nearby devoid of fruit. Super compelling wine for me. Incredibly expressive for a young wine. |

2014 Château Thivin Côte de BrouillyGamay more |
10/2/2016 - bpj87 wrote: 92 pointsCrunchy cranberry fruit with tons of minerality and secondary nuances. The mouthfeel is almost Chambolle-like – weightless, silky, and light – but with some more substantial and rougher edges. Really spectacular and seems to have the balance to evolve over the medium to long term. |

2002 Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling SpätleseNahe more |
10/2/2016 - bpj87 wrote: NRA rich gold color in the glass. Delicious flavors of red fruits and fruit salad. This was notable for its weightless, airy mouthfeel. Great integration of acid and sweetness, with a more subdued presentation than young Hermannshöhle. |

2014 Dirty and Rowdy Mourvèdre Skinner Stoney Creek VineyardEl Dorado County more |
10/2/2016 - bpj87 wrote: 91 pointsBright, ripe, red fruits framed by sleek acidity. There is a subtle tarry component that adds an interesting dimension to the mouthfeel. Although it's deliciously primary right now, I'd recommend holding for at least a few more years. |

1998 Louis Jadot Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Domaine Louis JadotChambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
9/5/2016 - bpj87 wrote: NRWhat a difference from my first bottle! Bright, red, savory fruits. Here the tannins are much better integrated, offering a complete, well structured, mature Bèze that had excellent synergy with the yakitori chicken. I'm much more confident now that this has the stuffing and balance to improve over the medium term, and will wait a few years before trying my next bottle. |

2013 Sine Qua Non Syrah ♂Central Coast more |
8/13/2016 - bpj87 wrote: NRQuite the experience! Lots of acidity and intense flavor. For all of the underlying extraction, the mouthfeel is balanced, not heavy. Overt heat on the palate and finish. A fun change of pace from the traditionalist Old World wines I usually prefer. |

2013 Dönnhoff Norheimer Dellchen Riesling Auslese GoldkapselNahe more |
8/10/2016 - bpj87 wrote: NRFrom memory, this was dark and savory yet with great lift and precision. My first Dellchen, and an interesting departure on the flavor profile I typically associate with Dönnhoff. |

1947 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo RiservaNebbiolo more |
6/1/2016 - bpj87 wrote: NRSadly one of the poorer examples I've tasted of this wine. Chalking this up to bottle variation and/or the quarter of the cork that fell into the bottle, making it difficult to tell when the fine sediment was approaching so that I could stop decanting in time. Given the palate's bitter off-note, I suspect it may be at least in part due to the latter. As usual this was stood up for a month and double decanted six hours prior to dinner. |

2010 François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de TonnerreChardonnay more |
6/1/2016 - bpj87 Likes this wine: 93 pointsLess generous and showing more structure than when I first tasted this two years ago, but this is still a beauty at this stage. The palate gained some weight while remaining very pretty and ethereal. Loads of long term potential. |
